I’ve had the idea for a while that Pokemon can end up looking pretty different even within in the same species because of selective breeding within a Trainer’s specific field. This is just a little exercise to illustrate that :U (using two of Courtney’s Pokemon as an example because I’m still on Courtney hype)

-From left to right, the Mightyena designs are based off of a hyena, pharaoh hound, and wolf.

-Also from left to right, the Camerupt designs are based off of a hippo/cow hybrid (designing it was a struggle…it’s more like a “square hippo” than anything), Bactrian camel, and buffalo.

very interesting
